Pear Sir: '
Now that the Privy 'Council has
declared the Canada Temperance
Act to valid and . thoroughly
embedded' into .our Constitution,
it' is i=mportant . that 'we have- a
clear understanding of the aim
and object of this legaislation.
When Senator, Scott introduced
the ,Act in the Senate of 1.876, he
made the following eomment:
'There are -,considerable sec-
tions °U . -the country, .where ';a
e• "ority� of the :P1e,.`are
impressed with the belief that
tty would be. much better
society
without 'the , use of ' intoxicating
Lquors that if it .were • banished
frog. their preeinets, crime would
decrease, `and they •.and their
neighbors would enjoy'. • better.

Ily,wou1d be superior, if deprived
of the :use of that Stimulant In
such sections I'believe the people
majority desire it, because the

In order'to secure this o ]

ing that time,.14 , of the Huron

dry, either by Local Option or no
